I have tried booting in Safe Mode twice and both times it hangs at:
agp440.sys

This happened after Windows froze. I was trying to open Remote Desktop, it crashed, it asked me to send an error report, I chose to do so, and then Windows froze. So, I powered down and when I powered back up, the BSOD started coming. It comes when I get the windows screen and the little blue status bar ticks away...perhaps it's the agp440.sys file, who knows.

It may help you to know that I was running the laptop yesterday without any hitches, Remote Desktop and all. I have noticed lately that the RAM compartment runs very hot after a little while, but that observation may be due to the fact that I have been setting the laptop on my lap more often. I've tried to give you all information that I thought could possibly be pertinent...I also try to blow out the fan compartment with compressed air to get the dust out so that it doesn't heat. I opened the RAM compartment earlier today and blew air into it as well, though I don't know if that means anything.

I appreciate any and all help, thanks!

P.S. I loaded up recovery mode from a Windows XP cd, and I am running "chkdsk c: /r" as I type, I will keep this post updated.
